Hey Folx,
I've got a rod that works really well as a combo spin/fly rod and I was just wondering if any others use such a tool.
Mine is built from a 7.5' GL2 spinning blank. Its probably a "medium" action, but has a really stout butt section. I suppose its what Loomis calls a "Popping Rod". I put a grip on it with sliding rings so either reel position can be used. It casts an 8wt line really well with hauling. It's not my primary salt rod, but rather just my preferred spinning rod. I can keep a fly reel and flies with me in case I wade up on a flat thats full of reds.
I just wanted to see if anyone out there fishes a similar rod or fishes a similar blank as a fly rod. Anybody?
